I have a Hp pavilion dv4-1225ee laptop. I was installing windows 7 in my laptop last night. I was sleepy so I switched off the laptop during the setup. In the morning when I switched on my laptop there is no display. So I attached an external monitor. When I put the windows 7 dvd, the hp logo comes and then there is a dash ( I dont get the press any key to boot) and then I get "Setup is starting services" error. When I press Ok. The same procedure is repeated. Please help.

In the bios, the boot device is dvd. When I press F12 nothing happens. This is what happens in detail whenever i switch on the laptop. A dash in the top left blinks for 1 min ( If I remove the dvd, the dash goes), then the Starting windows logo comes, then Safe mode, Safe mode with nework and Start Windows Normally. I press Start Normally, I get the Windows starting service. I click ok. And this gets repeated.

Is this a ready made dvd or a home burnt one? Have you run a full install with it anytime earlier? and when you aborted setup the last time, how far had you proceeded? Just trying to rule out a bad dvd. Is there a spare computer on which you can test this dvd?

Processes starting, but not showing windowsAn annoying problem (and one that I had in several different Vista installs, as well) has cropped in Windows 7 for me.
I start programs (Dreamweaver, Itunes, VLC media player, etc.) and I get nothing. The task manager shows running processes, but I get nothing on the screen.
Anyone?
